I Want You To Know
I want you to know this,  
               I will always remember.
 

Love is a miracle, infinite and divine 
but the opportunity for love  
to take hold is fleeting.

God Speaks Through Thunder
As I sit up in my cozy window seat;
I notice that the sunshine 
has disappeared in retreat.
It has left us a very dank, murky, 
and unfriendly kind of day;
With dingy clouds lounging over us
in a tempestuous way.
Thundering clouds bellow out their voice in the sky.
While...

Premium Member Natures Imperfections
It's not perfection in things if it exists
that means so much to me
but natures imperfections and beauty
like the ruggedness twisted bows
of a sprawling tree.

The unevenness of a mountain view 
lush green sweeping  valley's
buttercups kissed by morning dew
Ricky silver ribboned winding streams
the power of an...

Breaking Rules For New Rule
Breaking rules to make new rules
Chasing godly minds to fish out moles 
New pals while old were in **** holes
With them in d quarters of my life I make some new goals 

Jumping cliffs that could break ma back
Trekking distances that could get me wack
Swapping...

Abandonment
A lean figure, bearing love 
Burdened by a need for belonging
Starved by abandonment and disregard
With eyes of plea that look upon man
Rejection's curse; an unmet gaze.

The cold, the toll
An attempt to live diminished by ignorance
Loyalty pledged, discarded by the heartless
A tale of sorrow; a tail...

Premium Member Sleeping Timeless Beauty
Sleeping Ageless Beauty.

Her face Shows the ravages of old age and time
A face weathered worn 
 wrinkled craggy uneven
And engraved with furrow and line
She has stood tall her head in the clouds
Against the battering unforgiving wild
Wind snow and rain
Along with her sleeping sisters
Overlooking a wild...

Premium Member Goodnight Sweethear T
Why only yesterday
the craggies youthfully
flowed down your cheeks.

When did your neck
turn tweed and your fingers
thicken more than before?

Sure, your ruggedness attracted me,
but this is different.  Each new line
a furrow of our riverbed,

a new bend toward lights out
and goodnight Irene from more
than a dimly lit...

The Woman In Her, But the Woman In Me
I look at her and I see what I could be
Surely, she looks at me and she sees what she could be
But when I look at her
There is innocence to that preserved beauty; purity
And she has softness to her; a delicacy
There is no weight to...

Billy Graham
This is a poem written by a teenage girl looking for a husband.
It was written as a prayer, and this is what she asked of the Lord:
 
Dear God, I pray all unafraid,
As girls are wont to be;
I do not want a handsome man,
But make...

Hasani
They call me Hasani but most wonder why
Is it because of the twinkling in my eye
Or rather the way the vibrations run down your spine
When I whisper sweet nothings divine

In your ear, or maybe its that gentle touch
That comes from years of doing so much
With...

"children"
What would you see if you looked through a child's eyes?
The world would be a mystery,
Just one big surprise.
What do they feel when holding daddy's hand?
They would feel ruggedness and hard work,
The sign of a man.
What do they hear when listening to mommy's lullaby?
They hear...

Together
Shall have my act together,
My rhymes will come real clear.
Stamping with such confidence
Without no doubt nor fear.

Some days I am muddle,
Some nights don’t flow with song,
Will skip this road of ruggedness
Then shall soar along.

For what is bound will come in time,
Whatever is was meant.
Until I’m...

Friend
Friend...

You are generous and brave
Funny as can be,
A natural in all that's good
With much sincerity.

Truthful and trustworthy
Your honesty is kind and
I wish to state it clearly
Am glad that you are mine.

You're attentive and considerate
Passionate and true and I
Skip the road of ruggedness 
To only be...

ANOTHER TIME FROM THE CRUST
ANOTHER TIME. FROM THE CRUST

At a time when it crows
I set up to a lain me at thine bowl
Full weight! Full length a naked yoke 
There you set my piece at thine brow

There I grew to thankfully crawl
On the night as if sword was drawn
In...
